Recall Hand Count Audit suggests a Flip

Freedom of Information Act open record orders were filed by citizens in most Wisconsin Counties to hold the ballots of the June 5 Recall Election

Two different groups of volunteer citizens are spot checking the machine count of the vote to compare it to a hand count audit. One group is holding any information until the audit is complete while the other is releasing comparative audit totals as they are completed. Below is one of the tallies from Ward 16 in Dane County that deserves attention.

I followed the election returns on the night of June 5 with the county newspaper editor who had been through the election return process many times, and he noticed something unusual – that many voters who cast their vote for Walker also picked Mitchel as their choice for Lieutenant Governor. It was later learned when looking at other areas of the state how this tendency of shift from Walker to Mitchel was observed throughout the state. Is this another one of “hinky” or questionable anomalies that left people unsettled on June 5? It sure is, but what makes the result of the hand count in Ward 16 even more interesting is that it fits the description of a classic flip.

The totals of the hand count audit are shown in the boxes below with a description of the vote gain/loss by candidate.

What can be done about this?

I wonder if Brad Friedman is aware of this?

Do you have a list of counties/ wards that were touch-screen vs. optical scan. I ran a general county-wide total, and saw a minor effect with Command Central vs. non-Command Central, but this is another angle that I didn’t go after.

Keep coming after this. At the very least, it’s good to let them know we’re watching their every move.

I believe Richard Charnin, whose blog is listed on the post, has been working on spread sheets showing vote totals broken down by machine type. Command Central is a highly likely culprit in flipping votes in Wisconsin….for sure.

7. This flip seemed noticeable between Pasch vs. Darling.. I remember Big Ed and John Nicholas

were quite disturbed by the fact that Pasch was winning and then nothing from Waukesha for a while after everyone else had their votes in, and then the flip to Darling...

8. Hopefully they are hand counting all the races in the recall including LT Gov and State Senate.

Might make some very interesting news reports.
